A former first-round pick in 2014 out of Michigan, the 31-year-old Lewan made 106 starts, including in the playoffs, throughout his career with the Titans. Lewan was also a three-time Pro Bowl selection.

Lewan struggled to stay healthy during his last few seasons with the Titans. He tore his ACL in 2020 and suffered another knee injury in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills this past season that caused him to miss the rest of the season. In total, Lewan has appeared in only 20 games out of a possible 50 over the last three seasons due to injuries.

Lewan, a highly-respected player, took to Twitter Wednesday to briefly speak on his time with the Titans.

"I hope I did enough to create something Titan fans can be proud of, I love you all," Lewan said via Twitter on Wednesday.

With Lewan's release, the Titans will be saving $14.84 million in cap space and will almost certainly be in the market for a new starter at left tackle, whether they address that in the draft or via free agency.
